Aha - bingo - thanks.
"npm" exists in /usr/bin and is a symbolic link to /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/bin/npm and that should be a symbolic link to ../lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js
The last link was not there - probably shafted by the copy.
Replacing the symbolic link puts us back to where we were before, with npm being unable to access the .npm cache it creates.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] Node and NPM don't work properly on some LPARS?
For a start, run these commands so we can see where things are pointing:
% which node | xargs ls -all
-rwxrwxr-x 1 qsys 0 26327031 Aug 6 02:13
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/bin/node
% which npm | xargs ls -all
lrwxrwxr-x 1 qsys 0 76 Aug 6 02:13
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/bin/npm ->
../lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js
In the first Node.js delivered by IBM I needed to do the following. I run node_env.sh each time I do Node work in a new shell session. I also do stuff like this in a shell file for when I start Node.js servers in "batch"
(daemon).
% cat ~/node_env.sh
export
PATH=/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/bin:/QOpenSys/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/QOpenSys/usr/bin/X11:/usr/sbin:.:/usr/bin
export LIBPATH=/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/bin
If you want to affect your current process/shell-session make sure to use a period when you invoke it:
% . node_env.sh

Any ideas? Looks like we have shafted a symbolic link somewhere perhaps.
